ELECTIONEERING METHODS.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE North Ger
man Gazette, referring to the state
ments contained in the election placards
issued by the opposition, that the gov
eminent intends, in the event of secur-
ing a major ityin the new reichStag, to
introduce monopoly bills and measures
extending the military service to seven
wears yet. to suspend universal suffrage,
and to open bill to suspend the consti-
tuition. says that Prince Bismarck, in
commenting thereon, has declared that
the political well poisoning which the
enemies of the empire wage, is premedi-
tated and systematic, and all state
ments except that it is the government
intention to prolong the anti-SOcialist
law are senseless inventions. The
chancellor adds: IF the electors are
ready to believe the government has
such evil designs, then they cannot be
protected from INSCRIPTIONS sharpers.

TiaIe Review.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19-R. 6. Dun II
Gompany's weekly report of trade says
the conspicuous feature and the weeks
business is the breaking of specula-
ton in wheat, oil and coffee. The
sales of wheat here have exceeded A.
600 900 bushels with decline of 2f
cents which partially has recovered
and the sales of coffee has reached
698 go bags with decline of cents
in Rio. Operations in other markets
was more moderate in amount, gener-
ally with but fractional changes,
though oil fell p cents. The pork and
hog products were strong, though of
late the advance has been disputed.
Stocks have been weaker and without

felt III the gradual selling by investors.

So far the movement of boots and

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 1S.-A Courier
Journal Special from Sharpe, Marshal
County in the southwest part of the
state relates the discovery of large
cave by two young men Willie engaged
in preparing piece of new land for a
crop. The partial exploration develop
ed the fact that the cave was made up
of many rooms of great extent. \ COM
plete exploration will be impossible
until certain large, rocks are blasted or
broken away. In one of the chambers
there were found two human skulls and
about 5000 in gold and silver coli; and a
quantity of silverWare. This newly
found cave is believed to have been
the hiding place during the late
war of a band of guerrillas known as
Bloody Bill Brady's gang. These mar
auders were attacked near Benton.
Marshall County, in 1864, and all but
two were killed. These two escaped,
and going, as it is thought, to this cave
quarrelled over a division of the spoils
of the gang, and following their MUIR
derous bent shot and killed each other.
Steps will be taken for a further inyeS-
tigation of the cave and its former oc-
cupants. 1t has been limited that the
cavern was more likely the headquarters
many years ago of the notorious John
a. Murrell, who robbed and murdered

Carried AWAY Torrent.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Feb. ia young
girl and man lost their lives here to-day.
All morning there had been high wind,
and coming from the south it had full

A gust of wind of more than ordinary
strength snapped off two large poles
which carry the telegraph wires across
Court street bridge, and which fell and
carried with them two spans of the
bridge upon which they stood. Two

one of the planks floating near him.

Prob billion In the soalh

CHARLESTON. W. Va, Feb. 17.-An
unexpected turn was taken by the SEN
ate this morning, when the bill which
had been passed by the lower house to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors
and drinks within the state came
up for its passage. The opponents of
the bill discovered the fact that they
could not defeat it, and in order to do
the next best thing they called for a
vote on the joint resolution, which
provides for submission of the ques-
ton of prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors in
the state, which had not yet
been announced. Upon call of the
vote on submission three members who
had voted against submission cha " ged
their votes to aye, which gave the pa
irons of the resolution tWo-thirds
majority. The submission proposition
will be voted on in November, 1855, at
the next general election. The lower
house passed the resolution two weeks
ago. The bill which prohibits the sale
of liquors and drinks was then laid on
the table. Prohibitionists are enthu-
SiaStic over the victory

Brutal Prize Fight

CHICAGO, Feb. Is.-A most desper-
ate prize fight took place in this city
just outside the limits last night, the
principals being George Ducharme,
better known as Tom Chandler's'ssU Tn
known" and James Dohogany, who
fought draw with Frank Glover on
three different occasions. From the
commencement to the fifth round Du-
charme had his own way, but commenc-
ing the sixth. Dehogany got in a heavy
right hand swinging blow which
looked for minute as though Ouch
arme had reached the end, but at the
seventh round Ducharme had rallied,
closing Dohogany'S left eye and split
ting his upper and under lips so that
they gaped open. By this time the
party present had seen all that they
had bargained for and at the close of
the battle of the fifty that were present
at the opening, about ten remained.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-The strike of
coopers in this city has not yet inter-
fered with the trade of millers. partly
because it is now a dull season and
there is an immense stock of barrels
on hand, and from the fact that
knights of Labor Assembly No. 40 has
not yet been able to get contract of
men employed at one of the largest
coOperages in the vicinity, another
reason that the strike is a failure is
that desire of many coopers to return
to work, causes lack of confidence in
District Assembly No. 40. The cause
of this want of faith is the fiasco made
by the 'iongshoremens' strike. Master
coopers have large stock of barrels
on hand and plentiful supply can be
obtained from many little eooperages.
which employ from six to twenty men,
and which are scattered all over the
city, and if necessary, barrels can be
brought from Minneapolis. where there
are millions always on hand. The
| 'longshoremen are gradually finding
places, If not on the piers, elsewhere
and it is estimated that two-thirds OF
the strikers are now at work.

The 81, Louis Election brands,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. Is.-James
Pendergrast. alias John Mitchell, alias
James Reilly, who was arrested last
week in Chicago for alleged completely
in the election frauds in this city last
November, has made statement de-
failing his connection with the frauds.
He says that on the day of the election
man, unknown to him. gave him a
ticket to vote with the name of John
Mitchell written upon it. The same
man was distributing the same kind of
tickets among a crowd of voters, all of
whom cast their ballots, excepting HIM
self, Pendergrast, and w. b. Christian.
The Supervisor objected to their votes,
and they were taken to the city hall
by the same man who gave them the
ballots to cast. There he procured two
certificates of registration and return
ed with Pendergrast and Christian to
the polls. There they were arrested
and taken to the government building,
but Ed Butler, a prominent local Demo-
cratic politician, went on their
bonds and they were released.
When he saw just what his position
was, PendergraSt determined to make
full statement of the affair and throw
himself on the mercy of the court. Jim
Busby, friend of Ed Butler, found
this out and gave him 81 to go to East
| st. Louis. He went to East st. Louis
and Busby followed him there and gave
| him ticket to Chicago and S24 dollars
| in money. Almost as soon as he ar
rived in Chicago he was arrested and
brought back to this city. Pendergrast
| was before the grand jury yesterday
and it is supposed that it was upon his
| evidence that several indictments were
| found.

Closing Leavenworti Saloons.

LEAvENwoRTH, Feb. 18.-Mayor
Neeley this afternoon issued a proc
lamation commanding the saloons to
close. Ills action in this matter is
variously commented upon for the
reason that he has been very intimately
connected with the Whisky Alliance.
1t is generally conceded that the action
of the Law and Order people compelled
him to issue this order, seeing that the
saloon would be forced to close. 1t
is further stated That there is
d rumor among the members of the
Whisky Alliance that all saloons will
close tomorrow and remain closed until
after the Legislature adjourns with the
hope that no further legislation will be
enacted bearing upon the violation of
law here. This point gained, the. sa-
looms would again open. The Court-Bill
and Search and Seizure Act are the
measures they most fear.

D,strass Incre. tluR.

AssINABOINE, Mon, Feb. 19.-For a
period extending over the last six
weeks unprecedented SHOWS, billiards
and gales of wind have ragged through
the northern and western portions of
Montana. The oldest settlers ac-
knowledge this winter is the most Sc
we're of any for the last ten years. The
main range of the Rockies has, along
its entire length through Montana,
from two to six feet of snow and there
is an average depth of twenty inches
upon the prairies. Drifts are formed
upon the cattle ranges in Coules
and along the stage routes to remark
able depth. and the surface of the
snow is covered with a crust too thick
for cattle TO break in order that they
MAY reach grass. Stock OF all kinds
are suffering iIethe most fearful man
ner. and While some of the cattlemen
estimate the probable loss at 25 per
cent, the majority claim to have quit
figuring on losses now, and will
be thankful if they have enough
left to start anew in the spring.
Hay is very scarce and high, $50 per
ton being paid with alacrity. Various
mail coach lines have been the greatest
sufferers by impossible roads and de-
lay of mails and the mortality among
stage company alone having lost thirty
head of horses since Christmas.
Should the prolonged chinook set in
now there would be sudden break up
of the Missouri river from Benton
down causing tremendous gorges
and an immense amount of destruc-
ton. The great and continued cold
weather caused in many places a seri-
Gus fuel famine. In the town of Fort
Benton the question of fuel is becom-
ing most serious, especially to the
poorer classes, who are unable to pay
the eXorbitant prices demanded. In
forior cottonwood is easily sold for $14
